Still funny 5 years later!

Quote from a review of new Disney flick ‘Princess and the Frog’, featuring the studio’s first black lead protagonist:

Tiana joins a list of ethnically diverse Disney heroines — Pocahantas, Mulan, Lilo — that show how far things have come from the days when a pasty-faced princess hung out with seven little white dudes.

Lachie continues to grow in leaps and bounds…

Weight increase in week 4 is a "measly" 325g.  Actually, looking at our Plunket weight charts, he is only just above the 50th percentile for weight (ie, slightly above average).

However, length & head circumference tell a different story.  Both of these are above the 97th percentile!

To give some idea of what this might mean, his current length translates into a height over 6'3" as an adult!
If this is the case the then he will tower over both his parents…
(and he will have a big head like his father and grandfathers)

Lachie has put on *another* 500g in the past week, so now weighs 4.3kg at day 22! (though it is slightly embarrassing to say that he only weighs as much as I did when I was *born*)

We are wondering if he might have gastro-oesophageal reflux… he has been very hard to settle, but since raising the head of his bed he has gone down to sleep with nary a murmur.  Long may it continue
